Helping
Hoosiers
Recover
from
Flooding
I
teamed
up
with
Senator
Joe
Donnelly
and
Representative
Trey
Hollingsworth
to
urge
the
Small
Business
Administrator,
Linda
McMahon
to
support
Governor
Eric
Holcomb’s
disaster
assistance
request
to
bring
relief
for
residences
and
businesses
that
suffered
severe
damage
from
last
month's
storms
and
floods.
The
SBA’s
Disaster
Loan
Program
would
help
people
and
businesses
in
Clark,
Crawford,
Floyd,
Harrison,
Jackson,
Lawrence,
Orange
and
Scott
counties
get
back
on
their
feet
as
the
region
recovers.
Helping
Hoosiers
Plan
for
Retirement
Hard-working
Hoosiers
deserve
the
opportunity
to
create
a
comfortable
retirement
for
themselves.
However,
the
Obama
Administration’s
‘Fiduciary
Rule’
puts
that
in
jeopardy.
This
big-government
overregulation
is
causing
inadvertent
harm
to
the
very
people
it
was
intended
to
help.
I
want
to
make
it
easier
for
people
of
all
incomes
to
save
and
plan
for
those
post-working
years.
That
is
why
I
am
glad
to
work
with
my
colleagues
on
an
effort
to
bring
a
common-sense
approach
to
retirement
planning.
Quick
update:
House
of
Representatives
to
Vote
on
VA
Reform
and
Accountability
Measures
It
is
now
the
House
of
Representatives'
turn
to
vote
on
a
recently
passed
Senate
bill
that
will
bring
much
needed
reform
to
the
Department
of
Veterans
Affairs
(VA).
This
legislation
will
offer
stronger
protections
for
whistleblowers
which
should
make
it
easier
to
fire
bad
actors
within
the
VA
--
including
executives.
Following
a
successful
vote
in
the
House,
the
measure
will
be
sent
to
the
President's
desk
to
be
signed
into
law.
Look
Ahead:
Iran
Sanctions
and
the
Humanitarian
Crisis
in
Yemen
As
early
as
today,
the
Senate
will
vote
on
a
bill
to
place
new
--
stronger
--
sanctions
on
Iran.
Iran
continues
to
be
the
leading
State
sponsor
of
terrorism,
they
continue
to
develop
ballistic
missiles
and
finance
proxy
forces
in
Syria,
Yemen,
and
Lebanon.
The
regime's
behavior
is
unacceptable
and
destabilizes
the
Middle
East.
In
addition
to
the
Iran
Sanctions
legislation,
the
Senate
will
vote
to
disapprove
the
transfer
of
weapons
to
Saudi
Arabia.
I
will
carefully
consider
the
humanitarian
crisis
in
Yemen,
and
Saudi
Arabia’s
efforts
to
help
relieve
the
suffering
of
the
Yemini
people,
as
I
decide
on
that
vote.
One
More
Thing
Before
You
Go:
Meet
our
D.C.
Summer
Interns!
Eight,
bright,
Hoosiers
have
joined
our
Washington
office
for
our
first
Summer
Internship
session.
Over
the
past
month,
they
have
gained
a
greater
perspective
into
the
functions
of
our
government
and
their
hard
work
and
dedication
has
proven
invaluable
in
better
serving
Indiana.
